Ukraine claimed today Belarus has joined the Russian invasion as troops stormed across the border in the north, according to UK Sun.
The country’s parliament said Belarusian troops entered the Chernihiv region.
In a statement on Twitter, parliament said: “Belarusian troops have entered Chernihiv region.
“The information was confirmed to the public by Vitaliy Kyrylov, spokesman for the North Territorial Defence Forces.”
It comes after Kyiv was rocked by loud explosions after Russian airstrikes hit the Ukrainian capital.
Dramatic video showed the night sky lit up, as a huge 40-mile column of Russian tanks was earlier seen advancing to the city.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, air raid sirens blared out across the city as police officers hurried people to shelters.
Vladimir Putin’s troops are believed to be looking to surround Kyiv after earlier attacks by advanced forces were repelled in fierce battles.
Kyiv was bracing itself for a further onslaught after the Russians unleashed hell on Ukraine’s second city Kharkiv using deadly cluster bombs.
Satellite pictures provider Maxar Technologies said the convoy on the eastern edge of Kyiv’s Antonov airport contained hundreds of armoured vehicles, tanks, towed artillery and logistics support vehicles.
Other images showed also Russian ground forces close in Zdvyzhivka, northeast of Kyiv.
On Monday night, it also was reported that more than 70 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed after Russian artillery hit a military base in Okhtyrka, according to Dmytro Zhyvytskyy, the head of the region.
